Brown crispy leaves

SmylinPupilstarted grow question 5y ago

Can someone help me, I have a gelato plant. At first I thought it was lack of mg but after increasing it with a bit of potassium this is happening to the leaves. Think it needs a flush with new nutes? Thanks

Yes, it looks like a toxicity case. Flush with clean water several times, then give a smaller amount of nutes. Good luck bro👍

Quick fix would be foliar feeding. Spray cal mag on the plant. More serious is to identify your root and soil issues. What did you use? How are you checking the soil condition? What and how much you have been feeding her.

Hi mate, you may be having a few thing going on. Calcium and magnesium deficiency as well as low oxygen in root zone. You may be experiencing a lock out which is causing the Ca and Mg deficiency. usually caused by ph problems. A very small amount of hydrogen peroxide will add more oxygen to you soil when watering and just keep an eye on the temp of the water. Should be between 67/72'F. I Hope this helps, good luck and happy growing.

Rusty brown spotting on upper fan leaves, too much Tiger Bloom or deficiency?Hindu auto, week 11 started seeing rusty brown spotting on upper fan leaves. At this point I was only using tap water and 4 tsp/gal of tiger bloom. That is aggressive so I backed off to 1.5 tsp. I watered with cal mag 1 tsp just in case it was deficient. Ideas? Buds seem ok.

Can someone tell me what is this? I think the reason is that my nutrients are not balanced but I have no clue what deficiency this is, It could be so much easier to know the reason for this if I know what this is. pH pretty stable 5.8 Ec 1.5. Thanks!

Light burn, light burn due to humidifier water lights?What do you think caused this brown color on that leaf? I have 5 leaves like that, all the others are ok. I believe it's due to pulverizing water and droplets acting as magnifiers for the light, causing small burns. Also, since they are burnt, should I just cut them out?

Is this pH related?Hello, mates! Anyone knows what this could be? Searching I found that it could be pH related. I use pH controller from ferts (pH perfect from advanced nutrients) since the beginning, so I think it's odd that it could be a pH issue. p.s. 3.5 weeks of flowering Thanks 🙏 🙏
